Where others respond to incidents, you build the systems, queries, and processes that enable prevention. You will develop a deep product understanding, serving as a function SME for all things Sentry. You will work with product engineering partners to design, deploy, and improve a system that supports RCCA cycle execution and delivers actionable product improvement signal, directly impacting the design of next generation hardware and software. You will develop and deploy uptime reporting and observability tooling to measure and facilitate capability availability for customers. You will manage and democratize the Sentry knowledge base for field operations functions and support the proliferation of self service resources. You should bring strong technical depth in robotics engineering, experience leading iterative design across multiple teams, a systems approach to problem solving, and a familiarity with reliability and quality methodologies such as FRACAS. If you are passionate about ground-breaking technology, contributing to the national security mission, and engineering operational excellence from the ground up, Anduril is interested in speaking with you. WHAT YOU'LL DO Product Subject Matter Expertise: Build and hold deep technical understanding of the Sentry system, hardware and software, and serve as the product operations SME for Sentry across both business lines, helping technical and non-technical stakeholders understand each other. RCCA Cycle Design and Execution: Partner with product engineering to design, deploy, and continuously improve the system that drives root cause corrective action (RCCA) cycles on fielded Sentry towers, from failure capture through corrective action deployment. Product Improvement Signal: Turn fleet failure data, field feedback, and reliability trends into actionable product improvement signal for engineering, directly informing the design of next generation Sentry hardware and software. Reliability and Quality Methodology: Apply and mature failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action (FRACAS) practice for Sentry, establishing how failures are classified, tracked, and closed so reliability improvement is measurable rather than anecdotal. Uptime Reporting and Capability Availability: Develop and deploy uptime reporting that measures and facilitates capability availability for customers, translating raw telemetry into fleet health metrics that program, product, and leadership stakeholders act on. Observability Tooling: Proactively build and improve the observability tooling behind that reporting in partnership with hardware and software engineering, so coverage keeps pace with new Sentry variants and new site deployments. Sentry Knowledge Base: Own, democratize, and continuously improve the Sentry knowledge base for field operations functions, so operational knowledge is codified, accurate, and usable by any level of on call support. Self Service Enablement: Expand the self service resources, runbooks, SOPs, and troubleshooting guides that field and deployment teams rely on, so more is resolved at the point of need and the escalations that do arrive are better characterized. Iterative Design Across Teams: Lead iterative design cycles spanning product operations, engineering, and deployment functions, building agreement on what to change next and carrying it through to implementation., To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process.
